Accessibility

Getting to the museum: the museum is reached from the town centre by a rather steep (but short) uphill walk. Some visitors may feel more comfortable taking the public bus, details of which are available on our Directions page.

Parking: we have limited parking space outside the museum, reserved for disabled parking.

Inside the museum: the building is very old, so we advise visitors to take care on the uneven floors. The ground floor has a number of steps, some rooms are accessible to wheelchair users. The upper floor is not accessible to wheelchair but can be viewed via a digital photo frame.

Families

Baby care: Baby care facilities are available in our accessible toilet, located in the courtyard.

Buggies: Due to the size of the museum, we request that visitors do not use buggies within the museum. They may be left in the reception area.

Food and drink: Food and drink may not be consumed in the museum, except during special events. There are no cafe facilities within the museum.

Shop: The museum shop sells a variety of gifts, books and toys - many at pocket-money friendly prices!
